      Pros

      Opportunity to earn commission. Provide training and progression with high KPI Targets.

      Cons

      Zero flexible working even though they encourage clients to implement it. Very backwards in this approach- probably one of the only companies left that do not allow it. Very high micromanagement. Very high pressure from seniors but with false promises made to their employees. Very low basic wage and should be increased to give employees more incentive. £22k basic is appauling

      We introduced flexible working into the UK&I business a few months ago so I would encourage you to speak to your Director about this if you require flexibility. Our base salaries are in line with the market but we offer an uncapped commission scheme which gives you the opportunity to earn good money if you work hard and achieve results.
